The views are fantastic and relaxing from the living room.

Overall my husband and I enjoyed our stay, but did have both positives and negatives. The host seemed very nice and willing to help with anything we needed. Though we had no problems, he seemed available and that was reassuring. Instructions on getting access to the house were straightforward, and there were guidebooks, maps and brochures available when we arrived. The kitchen was perfect for our needs, and we enjoyed cooking dinners and breakfasts there almost daily. (Bonus Grocery store is nearby.) The house was clean and had a cozy living room with quite a view- as long as the upstairs neighbors are considerate and don't park out front which will obstruct the view. You do very clearly hear upstairs neighbors, especially if they are inconsiderate. Unfortunately, the beds do leave something to be desired. We stayed a week, so we would have preferred a better quality mattress for our long stay. Lastly, the house had a musty smell, which we wondered was from prior smokers, or maybe mold from the constant moisture the house is obviously exposed to. It was not unbearable- just noticeable. We did wonder if maybe the upstairs neighbors were smoking, and since I haven't read any other similar issues, I'm assuming it must have been some sort of temporary situation that we were lucky enough to experience. Again, our overall opinion of the house was that it was comfortable and the location was great. We would recommend it as a good base from which to enjoy the islands. It would probably be especially good for a family with children, as it is quite spacious and there is a little yard out front.

The place was very nice inside; clean, bright, and airy. The area is isolated but central to many key destinations. We enjoyed the solitude and our small son loved the small enclosed yard. Kitchen well-equipped except no spatula/pancake turner. Beds comfortable and washer handy. The views were Relaxing from the living room especially w a cup or tea or coffee. Also, directions via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) slightly confusing on last turn about. Go straight, do not go up to tunnel. Thank you for providing an enjoyable place for our family. Btw high chair and piggy dishes were also popular.

Our host cared a lot for us, especially in the beginning, answering all our questions fast and providing a great deal of help! Thanks for that! The house was very nice for our little group of five persons. Nicely furnished, very clean, bright and comfortable. We always felt like coming home and especially the AppleTV and Netflix compensated for that one rainy day we had! Everything we needed was there and all our destinations were not too far away. All in all, a perfect place to stay when visiting the faroe islands!

Sonja2014-10-19T00:00:00Z

We loved the location of the apartment and the apartment itself. It was perfect for us as we were travelling with a small child. We would recommend it to anyone without a doubt. The host welcomed us on the day of our arrival and gave us helpful advise. All-over it was a great experience and I'd like to come to this place again one day.

Diana2015-06-06T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful week stay at Grimur Ingi’s apartment. It’s equipped with everything we needed ie: it's "a home away from home". Every aspect of our stay including communicating with Grimur went very smoothly & quickly. Even though Grimur was not present when we arrived, there were very clear instructions & notes explaining to us the amenities/facilities available in/around the area. The location forms a perfect base to explore the rest of the Island and its never too far from most places. We did not miss staying close to the city/Toshavn and really glad we did not!

The view and high ceilings

A beautiful, spacious, stylish, well equiped and very clean house. But that's all topped by the stunning view over the Sundini (the sound), which is second to none! You could sit all day behind that panoramic window and enjoy the vistas. Ester and Tóra are very kind and welcomed us with a handwritten letter as well as bread, milk, a bottle of wine, homebaked chocolate cookies and other eatables. They provided useful information about shops and trips we could make. Ljósá is a good base to explore the wonderful Faroe islands and this house is the best you can get!

Morten2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

We travelled with a group of eight people in total. Fantastic apartment with a beautiful view and the sunset right outside the living room, lots of space, close to hiking and many small towns. Friendly and very helpful hosts! If you're going to Faroe Islands this is the place to be!

Ole Martin2017-07-25T00:00:00Z

After a 20 hour trip, we could not bring ourselves to go to bed, enjoying the fireplace, the views, the quietness... very enjoyable!

Manel2017-06-12T00:00:00Z

Perfect base for exploring the Faroe Islands. The listing is entirely accurate. The house is modern, comfortable, warm, and extremely well kitted out. It is a space in which you can comfortably rest and relax if the Faroese weather isn't playing along! Ester and Tóra were very communicative, helpful, and prompt. No issues whatsoever. We will certainly book again if we return to the Faroe Islands.

Wiktor2016-07-23T00:00:00Z

Grimur has been a fantastic host to my friends and I. He was very responsive, and extremely helpful in his recommendations. Our stay in the Faroe Islands was limited and jam-packed, but due to Grimur’s handy knowledge of the gas stations and koisk locations and time tables, we were able to plan our trip accordingly. As we didn’t have the most current itinerary for St. Olaf’s festivals, Grimur made sure we received it when it came out. Grimur’s house has everything you need and stands on a beautiful location overlooking Streymoy. Ljósá is also conveniently located near Eiði, which made trips to the gas station easy. I would highly recommend a stay Grimur’s house!

Sonia2016-09-04T00:00:00Z

This home is situated in a lovely and convenient spot. Access to all of the islands is very good. The location is quiet and scenic.

Tim2017-06-16T00:00:00Z

Very nice hosts with a great service. It is to feel everything yet so comfortable. A spectacular view over the fjord makes TV completely unnecessary. Great fishing and just around the corner are two large supermarkets. If do not feel like cooking there is a pizzeria is nearby. Very nice neighbors who like to chat and give tips for sightseeing. The Faeroe Islands are mistaken beautiful and absolutely worth a visit.

Tim2016-06-15T00:00:00Z

The contact with the owners was very nice, our requests were answered very quickly. The property is very large and well equipped. The view from the window is great, look out to the sea and the mountains of the island opposite. The property is perfect for exploring all highlights of the Faroe Islands and shops are easy to reach by car. In the living room you can possibly hear the subtenant, as it is a bit noisy. However, we recommend the apartment more fully.

Dana2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

Just returned from 7 wonderful days in the Faroe Islands, most of the sunshine, we hasten to quickly notify this lovely house -. We were well received by Grimur that came with extra mattress for us and had arranged for the first food in the fridge., We ended up being 11 in the house most days. It went well with extra bed in the nursery and the living room sofa. We think the house was central to all our excursions around the Faroe Islands, fished several days just below the house - it gave food for 2 days. The kitchen contained everything we needed for everyday cooking, seating and views in the room was fantastic around the clock. We give Gtrimur right to next investment is a toilet / bathroom more. We'll be happy again.

Bente2013-08-13T00:00:00Z

It is a beautiful house with stunning views. The house is very well furnished with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. In addition, there is a good common room with room for everyone - we were 9 people. It is clean and cozy and well equipped with everything we needed. Lillian and Grimur have been helpful and helpful when we have contacted them with different questions. So super experience and absolutely recommendable.

Older house in good condition. Located in the small village Haldórsvík on Streymoy, Faroe Islands. Beatiful view to the water. Nice quiet place.

A typical house with four bedrooms, kitchen and a large living room. The view from the house is beautiful, and Haldórsvík is a lovely seaside town. There is a bathroom with shower and wirlpool in the basement which may only be reached by a steep ladder through a trap door. The bedcovers, pillows and matresses should be renewed. Apart from that, the value for money is great and we enjoyed our stay!

Christoph2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

This is an older house in a quiet little town conveniently located on the way to Tjornuvik, a popular beach. Price-wise, this was super cheap and a good value for our small group of 4 people. We were enjoying the evening travelling and photographing and so didn't arrive till midnight (we made sure to call ahead of time to arrange late arrival), but unfortunately perhaps because of this there was poor communication of the house's amenities. Specifically, there's only 1 tiny bathroom upstairs without a shower, and no other bathroom upstairs, so that night we began to wonder if there was no shower in the whole house. We finally opened a little trap door hatch to the basement, and found another bathroom in the basement. It could be accessed via outside door, but it was deadbolted shut, so if we weren't smart/brave enough to crawl down a little hatch into a dark basement via the inside access, then we wouldn't have found the bathroom. Other examples of poor communication was that I had to ask for the house's address the day of arrival via text/phone, and house arrival info wasn't sent to me prior. The other issue I had was quite uncomfortable beds. I'm not sure about the others, but one of the (tiny) single bed rooms I slept in had a foam mattress falling off a smaller mattress below, so that half the night I was sliding out of the bed with the mattresses sliding off each other. So, some investment could be made to upgrade the bedding and mattresses. The living room was very nice, and the kitchen functional and basically equipped, but with no microwave. So, for the price we paid and the location, I have to give this property 5 stars, with the aforementioned caveats. Disclaimer: I own a vacation rental home in the USA and rent it out full time, so I am picky about certain things.

Johnathan2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

The house is beautiful because it is home, a home where you feel at the Faroe Islands .... we were in 6 motorcyclists and we were fine because there was everything we needed ... we also saw the great Gp live motorbike prize ... Mrs. Helena was gentilissiama, at my request for internet connection I went to buy a new router and connected it so make use of the network ... a truly impeccable service. The house has all the utensils that serve to make you eat. The beds are pretty comfortable, but i recommend wearing a sleeping mask as the curtains do not darken enough ... the little village is tiny, but we liked it so why stay in the city we are tired ....

Mauro2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Very large apartment with a nice kitchen. However there aren’t shower and tub (it wasn’t possible to wash it) and we could not use the wifi.

Helena's house is very cosy, fully and well equiped. Located in central Haldorsvik, it's really easy to find. The stay at Helena's house was perfect, with really nice view on the harbour and the mountains. The spa is also great :)

Barbara2017-07-25T00:00:00Z

Helena's house is a charming, quaint place in a tiny village. It was nice to experience a real Faroese home, even if it meant that the shower was in the basement. The views from the windows were the best part. The house was super tidy and welcoming and Helena was helpful when communicating. The only thing I'd warn about is that the house is quite compact, so don't expect much privacy if you are several people. All in all I had a great stay.

Brian2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

House was comfortable and warm. Location over water is nice but a short distance up stairs if you have luggage. Need a car to stay here. No restaurants or cafes close by.

Traditional wooden house from 1870 with a grass roof. Located in the village Eiði, 50 min from Tórshavn. From the cosy living room, you have a view of the summit of Slættaratind - the tallest mountain in the Faroes. Welcome to our cottage! Wifi incl.

Our traditional Faroese house - built in 1870 (almost 150 years ;) but newly renovated - is the ideal place for a get-away.
The first interesting quality you will notice is the grass roof, a feature common to old Faroese houses. Once inside, you appreciate the spacious kitchen and cosy living room; all embraced by characteristic wooden walls.
The house has a double bedroom on the ground floor and two separate loft areas with several mattresses for sleeping spaces. One of the lofts is mainly ment for children. It is the loft that sleeps two.
Outside there is a charming terrace with a wooden hot tub, powered by a fire. And finally a bathroom with a shower.
The house is equipped with brand new furniture and facilities, including a large smart-tv and wifi. The oven, the fridge and freezer is from 2016. The mattresses on the loft is also from 2016. The rest of the furniture is from 2015.
The open loft above the kitchen - accessible with a ladder - has a double mattress and is suitable for two people (children or younger adults), while the larger loft space can accommodate up to 5 people, although we recommend a maximum of 3-4. A curtain can be drawn to separate the larger loft into two sections. It is accessible by narrow and steep stairs.

The house is located in the center of the small village Eiði. About 600 people live here.
I will definitely recommend a trip around the lake that is located in the village. By the lake there is a new football field (from 2015) and a campsite.
Over the summer they say that 200 swans visit the lake on their way to Iceland - not at the same time though. If you have some left over bread, bring it to the swans and the other birds.
In the village there is a small shop where you can buy everything you need. If you require a larger selection you will find a big supermarket a 10 min. drive away.
The drive to Tórshavn, Klaksvík and the airport are all around 50 minutes.
You will find many beautiful small villages nearby. Gjógv is a must-see. In Gjógv you can dine out in the local hostel Gjáargarður. (Not all year round though - call and hear them).
Other must-see villages and scenery are Oyndarfjørður, Saksun and Tjørnuvík.

Absolutely amazing house, cozy! Easy to find and the environment around is amazing! Recomend it!

Jessica2017-06-20T00:00:00Z

The house of Ása is beautiful and makes you feel like home. Eiđi is a relaxed place to be, with friendly people. Would choose it ever and ever again!

Anja2017-06-28T00:00:00Z

Asa was easy to communicate with, provided all necessary information and was very flexible on arrival logistics. The house was amazing!

Marius Tuft2016-08-02T00:00:00Z

This lovely traditional turf roofed house in Eidi is truly a gem, and Asa and Hannes go above and beyond to make sure their guests feel at home. The house itself is adorable and has a great view of the water. It is well equipped with everything you might possibly need and it's very close to the town grocery store. There are hikes straight from the village, and we thought it was a good home base while we explored other parts of the islands. Do note that the ceilings are a little low since it's an old structure, so you might bump your head if you're taller than 6 feet! :) But despite my husband being 6'4", he absolutely loved the place! As did I! What made everything even better was how great Asa and Hannes were. Hannes checked us in even though it was passed 9pm when we arrived, and he took a lot of time orienting us and showing us around. It was great! Asa is extremely organized and excellent at communication. She put together a great guide book that details pretty much everything you can do in the Faroes! Additionally, she is extremely thoughtful and kind, and she had great recommendations. My husband and I were on our honeymoon, and she had a bottle of wine waiting for us! Our experience in the Faroe Islands was amazing, and we feel very lucky to have "lived" in this great place.

Tiffany2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

I echo the other positive notifiers roses. The house is charming, authentic, clean and well run. Finely located in the city with lovely views. And we need help, it is near. We have had four fantastic nights.

Tim2016-07-07T00:00:00Z

I would stay at this lovely home again in a heartbeat. Asa and her husband were excellent to work with as we planned our visit. Asa was always very quick to respond and see to all the details of our arrival and stay. They thought of many little details and had a welcome packet full of great information when we arrived which made us feel welcome and at home in this lovely place. The home was very clean and well cared for. It was an excellent experience. The town of Eidi was charming and the perfect place to retreat to at the end of a busy day of sightseeing. The location was fairly central for seeing all of the islands. Would definitely recommend this charming little house!

Rebekah2016-06-07T00:00:00Z

My husband and I stayed here for a week, but it took about 10 seconds to completely fall in love with this adorable little house. That and Ása being an excellent host made this one of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had- I highly recommend staying here if you have the chance! First of all, the house is amazing. It's nearly 150 years old so has tons of character, but is also very comfortable and cozy. We loved sitting at the table looking at the grass from the turf roof through the skylight in the kitchen! The kitchen is well equipped, there is a nice couch and armchair, board games, hot tub...perfect for relaxing and made me feel like I was really on vacation. But also the house is in a beautiful location, and there was plenty to do nearby like hike up the highest mountain in the Faroes. We were even lucky enough to see the aurora borealis for the first time after Ása messaged us to go look outside one night. We really felt welcomed here- Ása left lots of useful information on things to do nearby (and practical info, which was appreciated), was always quick to respond to messages, and put so many thoughtful touches into the house. Thanks for letting us stay here!

Lora2016-08-26T00:00:00Z

After a nice and fine drive up along Streymoy and Eysturoys coastal strip we arrived at Eiði and Ásas amazing little cottage. It was a perfect place for me and my father to stay during those days. The cabin was not only cozy and charming, but had everything that was needed. Big nice kitchen, nice little living room, a bedroom downstairs and an upstairs loft where Ása had made my bed next to the window facing out towards the fjord. Wonderfully! The rain that lashed against the window at night made me sleep well. A nice little grocery store is 100m away. Encourages a steep walk up Eidiskollur and look at the view and the ruins of World War II. Also take a look over the cliff down to the Risin and Kellingin. Magical view, but be careful! Ása was available via email all the time when we wondered something. She was a perfect guide ... remotely. :) I will definitely come here again.

Andreas' place was incredible! Everything was great, the most amazing location and the view from the cottage was out of this world. We were isolated from other houses but so close to the supermart and petrol station. We found it very easy to explore all of the Faroe Islands from such a central location. Very spacious, slept three with plenty of room. The cottage was homely and well equipt with everything we needed for our stay. Also, the hot tub was awesome! Highly recommend staying here. Thanks again, Andreas.

Very nice, quiet cottage located close to the highest mountain of the Faroe islands and other scenic places. Great terrace for perfect relaxing time. Supermarkets nearby. I would recommend the place anytime.

The cottage in Svínáum located on a perfect location, easy to find and super base for exploring the fantastic Faroe Islands. We had a rental car and could park the car outside the cabin. The cabin was clean, cozy and we felt at home from the first moment. Wonderful view from the window.

Linda2015-08-25T00:00:00Z

The cottage is situated in a quiet area a few minutes drive from the area with gas station and grocery store. Small but cozy with a kitchen, bathroom and near the stop of the bus. It can be a convenient option if you're visiting Eiđi, Tjornuvik or Saksun. We recommend it to those who like a cozy cottage in a slightly deviates position.

This was such an incredible place to stay. I'm 6'4" and had a little bit of difficulty with some of the low ceilings but I absolutely loved it here! Definitely the highlight of our trip, I can't recommend it enough!

Brandon2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

Super cozy little house. Older, but nice and clean. The house is absolutely beautiful in a charming small town, from which it is easy to drive to the other islands. Good communication with the host and shopping close to home. We will gladly come again!

Sørine2017-05-15T00:00:00Z

This is a great little old farmhouse in the center of a small village in the north. It was impeccably clean and cozy when we arrived and Jorun provided great communication and info before and during our stay. My only warning to future travelers is that the bedrooms are up a sort of ladde - so if you have any type of physical issue it may be hard to get up and down - also - because it is an old farmhouse - the ceiling and all facilities are very low. I'm only 5'6" and my head almost touched the ceiling! Anyone at or over 6ft may find this really tricky. We loved our stay, regardless!

ellen2017-06-01T00:00:00Z

Jorun's place was cosy and full of character, fit us perfectly. Communication was great and Jorun answered us quickly.

Noam2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

The house is just awesome, it was clean, cute and cozy. We really recommend it to everyone who visit the Faroes. We even had some faroese fish in the freezer!

Silvan2017-06-22T00:00:00Z

Jorun's house is something special. Two steps from the church and supermarket and still very quiet. Nice view on the harbour. The house itself makes you feel like jumping back into the old days: lovely. Both being over 6 feet tall, we, though, had to be cautious not to hit the ceiling. No problem if you get such a special atmosphere in return. Jorun's fish tasted like heaven. There is a nice walk around the small lake with beautival views on the coastline.

Joy2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay at Jorun's very cozy house. We had beautyful weather and had a nice breakfast in the sun. The house is located in a nice village close to the mountains. Thanks for the nice experience Jorun!

Ralph2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

This is a great and peaceful spot in the center of this little village. It is an old house, but it's immaculate. As other reviewers have noted (and as is noted in the listing), the ceilings are... very low. I'm 6'1" tall and hit my head — hard — on the top of the door frame between the entryway and kitchen over the course of three days. Just when you think you've learned to hunch over enough not to run into something, it happens again. The upstairs bedrooms and bath are quite nice, and are indeed blessed with higher ceilings, but only smack in the middle of the room. The layout is cozy, though, and the views from the living room and kitchen are pretty unbeatable. I never met Jorun, but she was very helpful and communicative prior to my check-in; even left some lovely fish filets for me. "TV" is listed as an amenity, and there is a nice big TV, but it only gets one channel. That was a little disappointing. But overall quite a nice stay.

Tjørnuvík is one of the oldest villages in Faroe Islands, and is definitely something worth adding to you bucket list.
The Giant and the Witch (Risin og Kellingin) are standing 71 and 68 meters above the sea level, overlooking this beautiful small village, with a population around 65 people.
In the summer time you might see many people enjoying the fantastic beach, because it is also a perfect place to see the popular Giant and the Witch.

Close to Paradise
Surrounded by remarkable big mountains and a beutiful beach, is the northermost village of Streymoy, Faroe Islands, Tjørnuvík.
Here you will experience an astonish nature, with a feeling that you are flying
1000 years back to the viking age. In 1956 they found several tombs which belongs way back to the old vikings. Also they found some interesting Celtic bronze pin that archaeologists interpreted as a proof that there was connection between Britain and the Faroe Islands.
Tjørnuvík is one of the oldest villages in Faroe Islands, and is definitely something worth adding to you bucket list.
The Giant and the Witch (Risin og Kellingin) are standing 71 and 68 meters above the sea level, overlooking this beautiful small village, with a population around 65 people.
In the summer time you might see many people enjoying the fantastic beach, because it is also a perfect place to see the popular Giant and the Witch.
The weather can be very different to other locations in the Faroe Islands, and sometimes much better, since the village is surrounded by high mountains.
This is the place, close to paradise, where you can relax and get mindfull. Fill up you’r personal batteries and let your body and soul rest in these perfect circumstances.
There is also a hot outside Jacuzzi, which is hot all day long, all year long.

Runi's house at the back of the remote village of Tjornuvik is just perfect. We stayed here for two days and just wanted to stay longer. House is modern, very well equiped with everything you might ever need (including a hot tub :)) and surrounded by nature. In addition, Runi is a great host and we never missed anything. We would certainly come again in a further trip.

Romain2017-08-15T00:00:00Z

Rúni's place is well located in a very picturesque village. It's clean and spacious and the hot tub is great! I would say that the double bed in the small bedroom is rather small for 2 tall people - definitely not standard queen size. Great hosts. Definitely recommend.

Aspi2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

It was the first time ever I really felt like being home - away from home :) One of the most beautiful places I've ecperienced, it really is close to paradise.. :)

Sarah2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

The house in Tjornuvik was very nice. At the end of the small village and with beautiful views. It is very comfortable and arriving is easy as there is a key box so it is not necessary to pinpoint a specific arrival time. That said, there was very easy and quick communication with the host who was willing to help out and answered questions very quickly. The bedrooms were very comfortable too and the beds were all made. From the house you can explore the tiny village with the beautiful views on the two famous rocks from the beach, eat waffles in the village, and hike to Saksun (or only part of the way to get nice views on the village from above). After a nice day outside, you can warm up in the hot tub which has very clear instructions for use and you can enjoy beautiful views from the hot tub. We were there with a two year old and it was a nice location also for the little one. I highly recommend the house and the host.

Ragna2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

Highly recommended! Being the very last unit at the foot of the hills, Runi's cosy home offers unblock views to the spectacular hills and waterfalls of Tjornuvik. The small village is not easily accessible unless by car, and haven't got amenities so you should stock up on food / necessities. We loved the drive into Tjornuvik where where are awarded with unparalleled scenery of the sea and the two famous rocks perched along the coast of Eysturoy.

Jessica2017-06-27T00:00:00Z

An incredible house in an incredible location. Beautiful views and new appliances

Chris2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

Located in front of a beautiful hill, after 1 minutes walk there is a great view of the sea and 2 rocks. You can awake with sheep's morning call. Inside the house, it's very clean and comfortable. It's nice to stay in the house while day if you have some days in Faeroe. Around the house there's no supermarket but 20 minutes drive take you to a supermarket. It is recommended that you rent a car when you book this house.

Ganno2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

Everything as advertised, nice place, tidy, clean, cozy, good heating, easy communication, easy check-in via keycode. The location is wonderful, the town is at the end of the road, very quiet.

Emil2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

Rúni's cottage is amazing , it was telling that other tourists kept on trying to walk into it when walki around the village! The house is both beautifully crafted and supplied with everything you need. A perfect place to come back to after hiking all day. Slight warning that the loft is hard to navigate if you're on the tall side!!

Adam 2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

The stay at the cottage of Rúni was just great!! Everything you could think of is present. Tørnuvik itself is the most beautiful village of the Faroe Islands. The surroundings are amazing.

Sophie2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

This house is extremely cute and in an incredibly beautiful village. The upstairs has quite low ceilings (as shown in the photos) and are up a relatively steep set of stairs. The house has everything that you would need and is very quiet and lovely. We had a great stay!

Kristin2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

An excellent, traditional cabin in the tiny little Tjornuvik village. We enjoyed hiking the surrounding mountains, day trips to neighboring towns and cooking at home each night. Right next to a local man who make waffle for the weary hikers coming from Saksun. Perfect Airbnb experience, highly recommend - Aussie couple traveling Europe.

nic2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

This is the most unique and special place I have ever stayed at. Tjornuvik is a hidden gem and this home is the perfect place to come back to after a day of venturing around. It has everything you could possibly need and is extremely comfortable. I hope to come back someday in the near future!

Tanya 2017-08-22T00:00:00Z

This is the best place on the Islands. Trust me - I traveled 1400 km in 7 days by car.

Vladimir2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

Wow wow wow - simply wonderful! This cottage is spotlessly clean, equipped very well indeed and...the location is simply INCREDIBLE. I have stayed in over 56 countries and this cottage will be a standout memory - I loved it! Book it now you will not regret it! Best place I stayed in the Faroes

An amazing house renovated in old Faroese style, with grass on the roof, etc. The place is cramped, but ideal for a romantic getaway for two people. It is possible for two more to sleep up in the hems. The cottage has a living room, kitchen, entrance and a very small toilet with hand shower, see pictures :-)
In summertime the best thing is to wake up and open the frontdoor and smell Hans Esberns warm wafles and new brewed coffe.

Tjørnuvík is a romantic small village, especially with it´s 17 small streams running down the hill side, just in to the roaring Atlantic Ocean makes both a wild and romantic scenery, depending the season. Population is about 70.
There is a sandy beach and there are hiking trails to Saksun. Wonderful mountains for for a fresh walk.
Tjørnuvík is known for it's famous Kingochoir, who for several generations has preserved the ancient Faroese tradition of singing Thomas Kingo's hymn at home and in the church.

Fantastic, sweet and friendly neighbours. Hans Esbern and Randi live a few meters away, and the are our contact persons in Tjørnuvík.
There are good possibility for hiking to fx. Saksun or take a mountain walk to see Stakkurin. The beach is one of few beaches in the Faroe Islands, sometimes the waves are wild and dramatic, surfers love them. And sometimes they can bee soo peaceful and relaxing with a wonderful wiew to Risin and Kellingin (the Giant and the Witch).

The house was perfect, a cosy, very Clean place with everything you need to Cook your own meal, Relax, enjoy... we really felt at home there. The bathroom is very Basic indeed, but we we're told that before and it doesn' t really Matter for a few days. Hans, the neighbour, had been a great Help! So, in short, a fantastic Experience!

Chantal2016-07-15T00:00:00Z

This house is a great place to stay to experience village life in the Faroes. The house itself was well equipped and a nice place to relax in the evenings. The village is in a stunning location and all of the locals are very friendly. Karis was an excellent host, thank you!

Emma2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

What an incredible place in such an amazing location. Situated inside the tiny village of Tjørnuvík, a stones throw throw from the beach and surrounded by mountains. It was a outdoors person's paradise. Inside was cute and very cosy, clean and well kept, and had everything we needed for cooking and staying. Perfect size for the two of us, could see it getting a little tight with four people. Food shop and fuel is a drive away so easiest to have a car. Very friendly neighbourhood which you must get to know if you stay, we were treated to some local delights and told many stories of the village. Its a pretty specific type of accommodation, if you are after an adventurous, locals experience in a traditional small rustic cottage, then its perfect! What you see is what you get. We were very happy with the rustic, disconnected feel and did not want a hotel experience.

Laurence2016-04-03T00:00:00Z

Wow! A stunning little cottage, that actually isn't that little, in an absolutely wonderful location. We were so happy to stay here for two nights in the comfy cottage with everything you needed too. Facilities are ample. We used the shower in the cottage and it was more than fine. Hans welcomed us to the village and waved us off too. I only wish we could have stayed longer! Until next time....:-)

Catherine2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

It was absolutely lovely staying out in Tjørnuvik, a small village at the end of the road on the main island, about 40 minutes from Tórshavn. It's a friendly village with about 70 people living in it, and perfect to get disconnected from the craziness of life for a bit and a good base for some hikes around the hills that surround the village. The house itself was a lovely grass-roofed log cabin, with everything you need, including a shower and toilet. Karis was a perfect host, meeting us in the town centre with the kids and giving us fantastic tips for Olavsøka, as well as going 'over and above' sorting out our rental car at 3 in the morning!

Rupert2015-07-30T00:00:00Z

The house is a charming little home in a nice village, where you are allowed to feel a little like a Faroese old days - and comes right down into gear. A unique home as is clear in the memory after the holidays as an authentic Faroese experience. The communication went very well with Karis up to. The hosts were even on vacation outside the Faroe Islands when we arrived, but several of Tjørnuvíks residents welcomed us and helped us to correct. Furthermore, Karis written a fine card with instructions to the practical. Weather permitting, we will also highly recommend the hike to Saksun in the neighboring village.

Jesper2016-06-30T00:00:00Z

Fantastic small ’historic’ house in this amazing outpost. Very clean and extremely neat with cozy knick-knacks. Very small but it should be fine to stay four adults, if you are not inside all day. We were 3 without problems. The ladder to the loft is a bit demanding, but it is cozy up there and the new double madras is fine. Switches for lightning takes a while to get accustomed to. Bathroom is as described by owner. A posted possibility to take a shower in village hall never came through, as it was locked and we didn’t manage (and didn’t bother too much) to find someone with a key. Check out for key when you arrive, if you care for a real shower. A note with wifi name/code didn’t fit with the only network available in the house. No real wine class (‘only’ for champagne) so consider bringing your own glasses. Communication with owner was very fast. Almost within minutes in our case. Somewhat expensive for the size and facilities, but it was really great to stay there. If you sleep with open window, you can hear the sea, the wind, geese, sheep and birds.

This little lovely house is very old, half of it is from 1884, and the other half is much older, nobody knows when it was built.

Kristians house is a little diamond. Really cosy, very well equipped and a perfect combination of historic and modern. We missed nothing, but got so much: breathtaking landscapes, friendly people and silence. Even our 13 year old Teenager daughter fell in love with that place. Perfect getaway for a couple or a little family. If we will have the opportunity to visit the Faroe Islands again, we definitely would stay in Kristians place.

Iris2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

Very nice small house, right in the middle of a very small village. Surroundings are stunning! House is low for a guy of 1.85 tall. Very efficiently furbished. Lot of tourist look through the curtains inside the house. We didn't feel private

Huub2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

There is a supermarket at 15' from the house by car where you can buy anything you need. Kristian was a great host, very helpful and present. We had a precious time and we would repeat the experience without thinking.

Beautifully restored old house with modern décor. There is everything you need if you want to relax in scenic surroundings. Kristian is a good and very informative host who announced events that could not be found as a tourist. I would highly recommend a holiday in Kristians Hus in Tjørnuvik.

Enjoy our renovated faroese 19th century countryhouse.
Situated near the sea in the quite and picturesque village of Funningur you're a 5 minutes drive from the tallest mountain in the Faroes "Slættaratindur" perfect for a hike. Neighbouring village Gjógv with it's beautiful canyon and where you can dine.
But however hidden and mystique foodstores with ecologic groceries are a mere 15 min. drive ;-)

The house is built in the 1870's.
There are two floors with central heating in every room.
On the ground floor is the kitchen and living room, both with a woodburner/stove. There's a toilet, shower, a double bedroom and a single bedroom.
The upper floor is open with a bedroom/office in the southend with 2 single beds.

Relaxing and easy access with car.
One of the truly unspoiled villages on the main islands of the faroes.

It a remote little town, must need your own car. The drive to Funnigur is spectacular. Be careful of hitting your head in the toilet and shower as the ceiling is very low.

Connie2017-06-07T00:00:00Z

Very cozy, clean and original house, the village is stunnig, very beautiful mountain roads around. Children were delighted with the attics and the garden. We enjoyed staying in Kjartan's house and we highly recommend it to everybody! Thank you, Kjartan :)

This house is just the coziest house ever. It has all I needed and the location is just amazing, Funningur is one of the most beautiful towns in the Faroes. Perfect stay and very relaxed, total silence, pure nature. I got a great sleep! I'll come back.

Joaquín2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

Kjartan's little old house is located in a very nice surrounding just one minute from the kay with beautiful views to the Fjord from the bedroom or upstairs. The house is very well equipped with cooking facilities and the stove/Radiators work very well. It was a very could base for exploring the Faroes.

Michael2017-05-26T00:00:00Z

Such a charming and lovely home in an idyllic town in the Faroe Islands. So cozy and a really fun opportunity to stay in an old classic Faroese cottage. Host was lovely and helpful and the home had everything you would need. Had a great stay.

Leila2017-05-31T00:00:00Z

The house was perfectly lovely in a quiet beautiful village up north. It was warm,clean and spacious, and the low ceilings in the bathroom and attic made it more fun. Its a great place for family and friends or even a romantic weekend. You can see the owners poured their heart and soul into it in small design details around the house, as it is beautifully decorated with a cozy vibe. We hope to return there someday :)

Rodrigo2017-08-15T00:00:00Z

Kjartan was great, very nice and very quick with communications. We had a really great time in Funnigur, the house was charming! The town is lovely and the surrounding areas/islands are gorgeous. Highly recommended!!

In Funning there is peace and quiet.
Flowing a stream through the settlement. If it rains, filled the creek and the water's roar sounds like good music.
Very soothing :)

I had nice stay. I loved the location and comfort of the house. WiFi internet was also fast.

Urmas2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Thank you for a wonderful week. It is a really nice older house that is a very good atmosphere. The village is so charming, so nice to go down to the harbor. We are very satisfied, very good communication and good facilities.

Guðrun2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

We loved Margit's house. The little village is lovely and quiet. The house is very clean, very cute, and you have everything you need to enjoy the Faroes. The kitchen is very well equipped. Cheerful colors, and beautiful old doors and staircase. Pleasant views of the village and the fjord from many windows. Great WiFi, too. The closest grocery stores (A and Bonus) are about 12 to 15 miles away, but it's on your way from the airport or home from Torshavn, so not a problem. Both carry Faroese salmon in the freezer section, prepared and packed in the next village. Margit is a very thoughtful host in preparing the house for your stay. Nice linens and good pillows and comfortable bed, too.

A traditional cottage built in 1926 and overlooking the Atlantic, this is a great base for discovering the Faroe Islands. Only one hour's drive from the international airport, but set in a small village (pop. 70) in the hills of Eysturoy.

This is an almost 100 year old house (refurbished less than a decade ago) around 20 metres from the Atlantic Ocean in the charming hamlet of Funningur. It is a comfortable and peaceful base from which to explore the Faroe Islands.

This is (email hidden) to get away from the stress of city life. Absolute peace and quiet, a stone's throw from the ocean and surrounded by steep, green hills.

Duncan has a really cosy and clean house. It was very well equiped an we found everything we needed. The communication with Duncan was perfect and he was very helpful. Funningur is such a beautiful village!

Julia2016-09-09T00:00:00Z

Spend a week with my sister and parents in Funningur. Duncan's cottage was the perfect base for exploring the Faroe Islands. The cottage is just as described and accommodates four people perfectly. Most importantly kitchen, beds, shower and internet was flawless ;-) As mentioned the steps are steep, but my non-gymnastic older parents had no issues getting upstairs or to the shower. Locals are helpful. Water is cold, but you should def take a swim from the pier. And go to the church on Sunday with 6-7 others from the village even though you don't understand a word. I will highly recommend you staying in Duncan's cottage instead of some random hotel.

Simon2014-08-02T00:00:00Z

What a fantastic experience!! Funningur is the most beautiful town we have ever seen. And Duncan's cabin is spacious, clean, well-decorated, well-located, and beautiful, with great light and breath-taking views of the fjord. Duncan is a very communicative, welcoming host. He provided us with great information for the cabin and the area, and made it easy for us to get in and settle ourselves. The neighborhood is serene and secluded, an easy 20-minute drive to two great grocery stores and a gas station. The Faroe Islands are the most uniquely stunning place we've ever seen, and we can't wait to return! Highly recommend this cabin.

Tyler2015-08-17T00:00:00Z

The cottage is in a magical position with views out over the fjord and steps away from the harbour. Excellent wifi and good shower room with heated underfloor heating. Good kitchen with lots of food in cupboards - flour oil salt and pepper etc. Not for infirm as there are steeps step to the bedrooms and the shower room is through a trapdoor in the basement. Great base for the northern part of the islands.

laurence2016-06-25T00:00:00Z

Had an awesome stay in the Funningur Cottage. Everything was as Duncan described. I was travelling alone and it was a perfect base to come back to everyday after exploring the islands. Very safe and cosy! Duncan was also very helpful before and during my stay, which was much appreciated.

Everything was as described with plenty of towels, bedding, etc. We were unable to figure out how to lock the house, but the small town felt very safe so we weren't very concerned about this. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend the home to others!

A quiet and picturistic location in the small village Saksun. The house sleeps 6 people with two double rooms and one open loft with mattresses. Many lovely walks and beautiful surroundings. A great place to spend a holiday with family and friends.

Saksun is a unique gem in the Faroe Islands. The location is stunning and the perfect place if you need a nice and quiet retreat with your nearest.

Saksun is lovely for walks and fishing. It is probably one of the most beautiful and quietest places you can find on earth, in my opinion :)

what a wonderful summerhouse!!!!!!! i dearly recommend it its in a beauutiful spot near some tuft-roofed houses that are a classic and a breathtaking walk through a lagoon to the sea. impecable host and house- i wish i could have a house like that! it looks better in real life than in the pictures its amazing

Anita2017-01-27T00:00:00Z

It was the most amazing experience ever with airbnb. We do travel a lot all around the world, but have never had such a dream place to live. The view from the window makes you wake up as early as possible just to see it. The house is comfortable and cosy. We really felt like at home. The host and his sun Justin, who helped us to get to the Saksun house, are great - friendly, easygoing and helpful. Thank's a lot Kari, greetings to Justin!

Ilze2015-07-24T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Kari's Saksun summer house. Kari was a great host, providing a local's insight into things to do and places to go while in the Faroes. The summer home is secluded and quiet, but only15 minutes from a small town with a grocery store and gas station for the essentials. Driving around the islands was great as Saksun is relatively central. Torshavn is only about 45 minutes away, making booking tours or a night out easily doable. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

James2015-07-09T00:00:00Z

Great hosts! The house was terrific. Clean, spacious - and the location was beautiful. The village of Saxun an easy walk down the road is one of the most picturesque in a country where just about every village is picturesque. My friend and I had a great stay. (Also: just up the road 5 minutes is a late night pizza and burger place!)

Great holiday home with stream in the back yard and beautiful nature as far the eye. Very cottage atmosphere incommunicado. There is everything necessary in the house, and the owner is incredibly nice and helpful. Can be recommended warmly.

A nice and cosy cottage in a remote and wonderful location. We felt privileged to be able to experience Saksun in such a way. Our host was very welcoming and helped us make the most of our stay. Thank you for opening your home to us!

You have an entire apartment for yourself in the lower floor of a house in a residential area. There is a double bedroom, a large living room, a nice bathroom and a kitchen with room for two to eat. Asbjørg took care of us. She had added buns and fruit to us when we arrived. And then she was very concerned about whether her grandchildren who were visiting were too much alarmed. However, that was not a problem at all, and the kids were some really cute kids. The house is in a residential area with bla. Food stores Bonus and Á ligeved. In addition, there is a pizzaria and a couple of shops more. So we made our own hot dinner every evening and dated with a pizza one evening. In total we lived there for 4 nights and really enjoyed it. If you are in a car, the place is perfect because it is located in the middle of which is the ideal starting point for trips in all directions on Streymor and Eusteroy.

Great place to visit the Faroe Islands: it's in the middle of the islands, which makes it very handy for who wants to visit both the southern and the northern islands. The house is very clean and has everything you need for your stay. Would recommend.

This is a homey apartment in the basement floor of a seventies style house in a quiet neighbourhood. Ideal location for trips to Tjørnuvík, Eiði, Gjógv, Saksun and other places in Eysturoy and Streymoy. Supermarkets Bonus and Á are close by and open till late evening. Apartment has one double bed, two more people can sleep in the living room. The living room has a modern TV but no channels were available so I watched Netflix or used the free wifi when I was "grounded" due to bad weather :-) Furnishing is basic, kitchen has a cooker/stove, coffee maker, kettle, and fridge. A bag of home made buns was placed on the counter as a welcoming gift, along with home made jam in the fridge.

We had a wonderful stay at Ásbjørgs place! We felt very comfortable there. It's a good location to explore the islands. Ásbjørgs was very welcoming and generous!

The apartment was exactly what we wanted. A place situated in the middle of Faroe Island from where we could organize our car trips. The apartment is placed only 35 min by car from capital Torshavn and in similar time you can also reach Vagar airport in Vagar. The flat is clean and feels like newly refurbished. It has a bedroom with double bed and spacious living room with TV (netflix provided) and sofa which can be open and provide good sleep for two people. Kitchen has all the equipment for cooking and there is also a coffee maker for filtered coffee. Bathroom is nice and clean. Ásbjørg met us and show us everything plus she provided a small treatment in form of bread bums and jam. There is a drive in area at front of the house and we could park our car there. The flat in overall is quiet and very comfortable. If you think to come to Faroe Island I can only recommend you this place in the middle of Faroe, lovely place close to everywhere you want to see.
